Graphic Design has really
opened my eyes to the world of design. The progress that I have made from the
beginning of the year to now is incredible to think back to. I was struggling
to remember how to work Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator and I had to play
around with it multiple of times to finally remember how it worked. I learned about setting goals, meeting the
client’s needs, time management, project management, and much more through out
my year in Graphic Design. I learned about all of this through the 5
guarantees: technical skills, communication, collaboration, leadership, and
management.
I learned about all of this from Ms. Lofquist, but not
just from Ms. Lofquist. I got some major help from my close friends in this
class. One major thing that I have
learned about in this class is friendship. Sydney and Alyssa have been some of
my best friends in the class. We all have collaborated together on different
projects and created some really unique products and projects. I walked into
this class knowing only Alyssa and I didn’t even know who Sydney was until she
talked to me on the first day and I’m glad that all of us are close friends
now. (God Bless that I had them in class).
My greatest strengths are project management,
collaboration, and leadership. I have always been in class, making use of time
in class, etc… My weaknesses include gaining inspiration. This was one of my
weaknesses because I wanted to make something unique and original but I soon
realized you could still do that by finding something that you can recreate and
make unique. I have improved SOOO much from the beginning of the year to the
end. My technical skills, and my leadership skills have improved a significant
amount and that is something I am extremely proud of.
I am going to take everything that I have learned about
what it takes to make a good logo design and apply it to my real life. I am
hoping to make a logo for my dad’s business or another baby shower card for
someone. I will be thinking about Graphic Design in my everyday life.
I would probably change how we got information at the
beginning of each project. We should have all the information put up on a board
for everyone to look at and reference. The tutorials that we watched helped us
all immensely! Thanks Lofquist! Other than that I don’t think that I would
change anything. This year went by great since we had an awesome teacher named
Ms. Lofquist!
Overall, I think that I should get an A in this class
since I have worked really hard on every project that we have done, I have met
the clients needs, and if this was a real job I would definitely get a raise. I
am always here in class and I am always making use of my time. This has been
such a fun year, especially all of our inside jokes. Thanks for a great year!
